    DDL is the precedent setter of the leagues.
  2. Dr. Dinger
    Yeah, not that I want to get into a ranking exercise, but if you had all players ranked as keepers, you could tie compensation to that. For ex, a Top 20 player gets two 1st round picks, a Top 100 player gets a 20B, a Top 200 player gets a 40B, beyond that you get nothing. Of course, we'd never be able to agree on rankings anyway, so I guess it's moot.
  3. Dr. Dinger
    Looks like we're pretty much settled here.
  4. Dr. Dinger
    Would Ventura have gone #1 in the waiver draft if he was cut? This is a weak year, so there's a decent chance. Maybe Thames would go ahead of him.
  5. Dr. Dinger
    I am just kidding, I would have given a 2nd rounder for him. Maybe a late first. 20B is still the most logical for me.
  6. Dr. Dinger
    No, he was a 4th round MiLB pick. This league is getting old.
  7. Dr. Dinger
    Damn, he may have really screwed his family over if he was drinking.
  8. Dr. Dinger
    Maybe we should comp a 4th rd pick, since that's what Ventura was.
  9. Dr. Dinger
    Damn what a steal.
  10. Dr. Dinger
    I missed that, super gross.
  11. Dr. Dinger
    There's no precedent for giving compensation for baseball-related injuries, only death
  12. Dr. Dinger
    Let's just do a quick vote, 3 out of 5 wins it. I'm not going to lose any sleep over the results, but I vote for 20B compensation or 10B waiver compensation, owner's choice. I believe some compensation is appropriate. I think any player who is an MLB keeper warrants some level of compensation. I don't buy the slippery slope argument; players rarely die and I think it's fine to decide compensation subjectively on a case by case basis.
  13. Dr. Dinger
    So can we talk about how gross it is that DR police tweeted a picture of his crumpled body pinned under his Jeep?
  14. Dr. Dinger
    What is really the harm in giving a small bit of compensation? Not withstanding that this is the third time, I really don't think this is going to be a common occurrence.
  15. Dr. Dinger
    Agreed. His fantasy value during 2014-2015 was comparable to Marcus Stroman now. I think based on his age and ceiling he was objectively a keeper for some team.
  16. Dr. Dinger
    I didn't know he was a ginger, that changes everything.
  17. Dr. Dinger
    20B seems about right to me.
  18. Dr. Dinger
    I think it's a sliding scale. Assets that have no value require no compensation, but I don't think Ventura is a guy who would have ended up in the waiver draft.
  19. Dr. Dinger
    Exactly. Compensation should be commensurate with trade value. What would Yordano get? A 1st? Probably not a Top 5 1st, but maybe I'm wrong.
  20. Dr. Dinger
    I guess we need to discuss compensation once again.
  21. Dr. Dinger
    Yeah I don't have a ton of sympathy. This guy showed violent disregard for other players and a s*****, arrogant attitude on many occasions.
  22. Dr. Dinger
    He didn't pass away, he died.
  23. Dr. Dinger
    He was a piece of s***, but this is a s***** way to go.
  24. Dr. Dinger
    This needs its own thread.
  25. Dr. Dinger
    Jesus Christ what did i start here
